Does this make you angry? It does me …
It’s not my usual business stuff — but you need to see it and read it!
(The following picture and text were forwarded to me by a friend)
It seems to me that if all we are doing is paying these congressmen and women a gigantic salary to sit in congressional session and play solitaire or whatever, it’s time to bring most of them back home by replacement. Democrats, Republicans, Independents – it makes no difference. The bills they’re passing by playing solitaire instead of voting for us are taking away our freedoms with ever key stroke.
Nothing else need to be said. This is one of their “three day” WORK WEEK that we all pay for. I am ready to start from the beginning by voting out all elected officials and not letting any of them stay in office for more than two terms. No more lifelong healthcare, retirement, voting in their own pay raises, taking perks on our taxes, etc.
House Minority Leader Lawrence F. Cafero Jr., R-Norwalk, pictured standing, far right, speaks while colleagues Rep.. Barbara Lambert, D-Milford and Rep. Jack F. Hennessy, D-Bridgeport, play solitaire Monday night as the House convened to vote on a new budget. (AP)
The guy sitting in the row in front of these two… he’s on Facebook, and the guy behind Hennessy is checking out the baseball scores.
These are the folks that can’t get the budget out by Oct. 1, Seriously!!!
So, we’ve got a 30 day budget extension. Well, guess what, 30 days from now they will still be playing SOLITAIRE and we will be in the same boat. I guess this makes it easy for the news ‘reporters’ who continue to recycle the same headlines from this week and from 2 years ago.

So, how does it make you feel? Love to hear your comments on the blog!

JP,
Yep, that angers me too. Instead of working on solutions to our problems, they are just biding their time -wasting it, wasting our dollars – and they are simply unwilling as a group to make the changes necessary to get out budget back into balance and stop supporting people in this country who are not pulling their own weight.
Glad I got a chance to vent today!

Why does this suprise you? Supposedly all financial actions taken by the Federal Government have to be approved by the House of Representatives. How is it that Mr. Obama could send TRILLIONS of dollars to all sorts of places with impunity? There is your answer in a photo. Yes, each and every one of our so-called representatives should be replaced. Will they? I strongly doubt it. It is time to clean House, and while we are at it, clean up the Senate as well.
Snopes confirms the truth of this story!

JP, Yes it makes me FURIOUS. But it is WE the voters, or should I say NONVOTERS, that make this possible.
Do you know that in the past several elections(yes, even the “landslide” by Obama!) Less than HALF the people voted? Disgraceful.
I say let’s throw them ALL out! But to do this, we as entrepreneurs and people that LOVE freedom must VOTE and encourage intelligent people to register and vote also! Let’s do it! God bless!
Fire them all and replace them with NOBODY. Adult human beings are perfectly capable of taking care of their own affairs if you leave them to it. Why does everyone keep believing we need these poltroons at all to run and ruin our lives?
Nice to see someone else speaking out and making good points about the losers we have in office.
I 2nd the vote to oust them all – they are seriously just wasting our tax dollar minute by minute until they retire and pull full benefits, not to mention – an escalating salary that escalates yearly until death do us part from them.
For most of them, as far as I am concerned, death doesn’t come soon enough. Bunch of leaches – almost every single one of them.
They’re all just figureheads anyway. Those votes their doing don’t mean a thing, our Congress isn’t even smart enough to have the votes tabulated by an independent organization – how do ‘we the people’ even know that what they say was the ‘result of a vote’ really was the actual result??
We don’t – and that is exactly how they want it to be.
Who are ‘they’
Why, the worlds Illuminati that’s who.
Big Bankers and Big Business – that’s whose really driving this car folk’s, not your ‘voted in’ officials, come on – you all know this by now don’t you?
Where do you think the idea for the Eastern European Union and the Euro came from. The United North American Union is next, and they’re already under production with the Amero for it.
Get with the picture folk’s – and don’t even fool yourselves that you ca stop their momentum. What has happened to the American economy over the last two years is just a small slap in the face, that we’ve been dealt, by the real powers in this world – The Big Banks that truly do have our lives in the palm of their hands.
They will be monitoring this Blog Post right here too, that’s one of the reasons I have not even used my real name on this post here.
I’ve already had friends that have received ‘a friendly (not) visit and some major slaps on the wrist, including threats of imprisonment.
Walk softly, talk softly my friends (and start storing up ammo and guns NOW!)
I’m not kidding…
